Entries for Solar Prize Round 4

A high-efficiency, flat plate collector system that operates at more than 150ºC using AeroShield's ultraclear aerogel to reduce losses.

Instead of exporting power out of Wyoming, our solar farm will directly power datacenters using quantum dot solar cell technology by EPSCoR.

PV Modules bonded to thermal mass run up to 10 °C cooler and can recover up to 5% of the power lost due to overheating from the sun.

We develop intrinsically robust and stable perovskite absorbers to achieve over 25% cell efficiency with operational stability over 5 years.

We provide a permission free solar+battery solution for the urban and rental markets that relies on plug&play tech with sensory input.

Solar panels cost-effective and eco-friendly recycling using our Solar Panel Waste Recycling (SPWR) process programs.

Speed Albedo is a low cost, highly reflective snow-white ground covering that increases power output by maximizing back side albedo light.

PV Robotics Automated Installation -- Fastest and Lowest-Cost Floating PV for Extremely Rapid Climate Action!

Integrated system of thermal collection & PV. Allows for collection of both electricity and heat (for HVAC/Space heating and hot water)

Using Vertical Take Off and Landing technology we will develop a system a solar drone designed for research and search and rescue missions.

An array of Fresnel lenses focus on collimating lenses to collect multiple beams to create a single directable high power beam.

The SUNSPOT is a solar electric cooking system designed to replace biomass cookstoves used by three billion people around the world.

Creating 50 to 75 watts of energy from sports stadium seats around the world using photovoltaic modules seamlessly integrated into each unit

Leap PV is developing a streamlined process to cut the cost of silicon PV cell manufacturing and equipment in half by eliminating wafers.

High temp/high concentration ratio CSP via a circle of angled mirrors focusing sunlight on the center axis (target column) of the circle .

Sets of CSP receivers / mirrors are plumbed together in an array to allow high temperature latent heat transfer without moving parts.
